Title: New Perspectives on Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Tutorial 2


1
Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
  • Tutorial 2 Working with Graphics and Hyperlinks

2
Change the background color of a Web page
  • By default, the background color of all Web pages
    is white.
  • Most text and graphics display best on a white
    background, but there is little visual interest
    to that.
  • You can use any of the standard colors or the
    Web-safe colors available in the More Colors
    palette.
  • It is important to emphasize that you select one
    that coordinates well with the text color you
    have selected.
  • If, after making edits, you find that none of the
    colors work, you can always change back to the
    white background.

3
Change the background color
  • To apply a background color, click the Format
    menu and then click Background to open the Page
    Properties dialog box.
  • In the dialog box, select the Formatting tab.
  • Click the Background list arrow in the Colors
    section to display the Standard Colors chart.
  • Click a color to apply it to the Web page.
  • Click OK to return to the page and see how it
    looks.
  • If the color you chose is too dark, the text will
    be hard to read and you will have to repeat the
    process until you find a color that works

Insert a picture on a Web page
  • Web pages need more than text and navigation bars
    to be interesting.
  • Logos, graphics, and photographs can all work
    together to make your site attractive and
    inviting to the user.
  • The three most widely used file formats for
    graphics are GIF, JPEG, and PNG
  • GIF files are small and load fast
  • JPEG files are usually larger than GIF, but are
    best-suited for photographs
  • PNG was created as a license-free alternative to
    GIF
  • When you save a Web page in which you have
    inserted a picture, you must be sure to save the
    picture to the Web site's images folder.

7
Insert a marquee on a Web page
  • A marquee is an eye-catching graphic that you can
    add to a Web page.
  • It's actually a text box that displays a
    scrolling message that you create.
  • You can use existing text for the marquee or add
    new text.
  • Marquees should be used sparingly because they
    can easily overpower a page and distract the Web
    page viewer.

8
Add a marquee
  • To add a marquee
  • Select the text for the scrolling message or
    click on the page in the area you want the
    marquee text to appear
  • Click the Web Component button on the Standard
    toolbar to open the Insert Web Component dialog
    box
  • Click on Dynamic Effects in the Component type
    list, and then click Marquee in the Choose an
    effect list
  • Click the Finish button, and the Marquee
    Properties dialog box will open
  • Click OK to activate the marquee
  • You can apply formats and other characteristics
    to the marquee using options in this dialog box.
  • You can test the marquee by first saving the
    page, then changing to Preview page view.

Add a picture
  • To add a picture to your Web page, click in the
    page where you want the picture to be placed.

    arrow to locate the picture and double-click it
    to insert it on your page.

Import an existing Web page into a Web site
  • The ability to import existing Web pages into a
    Web site can save you the time and effort of
    re-keying information that's already keyed in and
    in the proper HTML format.
  • To import a Web page, be sure the Web site you
    want to import to is open in the Folders view.
  • Click the File menu and then click Import.
  • In the Import dialog box, click the Add File
    button to open the Add File to Import List dialog
    box.
  • Use the Look in list arrow to navigate to the
    HTML file and double-click it.
  • You will then return to the Import dialog box
    where the file's path will display.

13
Import additional pages
  • You can repeat the process from the previous
    slide with the Add File button to include
    multiple files.
  • Click the OK button to import the selected
    file(s) into the open Web site.
  • The new HTML file will display as a page in the
    Contents pane.
  • Once the page is part of the Web site, you can
    double-click it to open it in Page view and
    modify it like other pages.

14
Open an imported page
  • The imported Web page can be opened by
    double-clicking on the file name in the Contents
    pane.
  • The imported file will have the default white
    background.
  • If other files already in the Web site have a
    theme applied, you should apply the same theme to
    the imported file for continuity.

    Web page and then specify the target Web page.

    each page you linked to from the index.htm page

    hyperlink to allow the viewer to instantly return

    like a mailbox graphic, and the link is
